Peckwater Quadrangle

[1] Christ Church Library is on the south side of the quad.

[2] The buildings on the north, east and west sides of the Quadrangle were designed by Henry Aldrich and built by William Townesend between 1706 and 1711.

They constitute one of the earliest examples of English neo-Palladian architecture.

First floor rooms in this quad have traditionally been particularly sought after by undergraduate members of the college due to their size, oak panelling and high ceilings.

On 12 May 1894[5][6] and again on 20 February 1927,[7] after dinner, Bullingdon Club members smashed almost all the glass of the lights and 468 windows in the quadrangle, along with the blinds and doors of the building.
